NBC News: Trump was serious about trading hurricane-stricken Puerto Rico for Greenland, ex-DHS official says
“The president expressed deep animus towards the Puerto Rican people behind the scenes,” said Miles Taylor. A White House official working with Puerto Rico says that wasn’t his experience.
Taylor said, “The fact that the president of the United States wanted to take a U.S. territory of Americans and swap it for a foreign country is appalling.”
Former Trump Official Miles Taylor revealed that Trump said he wanted to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland even though they are Americans because they were "dirty and poor."
He also confirmed it was obviously not a joke. pic.twitter.com/ySlvDAIK4R
